Nanya Technology Corp (南亞科技), the nation’s biggest PC DRAM chipmaker, yesterday posted the highest monthly sales in five months on the back of restock demand from PC makers and demand for its non-PC chips for mobile devices.

On an annual basis, October revenue rose 10.2 percent from NT$24.22 billion.

Average selling prices declined 3.4 percent last month from the previous month, the chipmaker said.

“Demand for our niche products, including memory chips for digital TVs, set-top boxes and tablets, is stronger than we expected during the peak season,” a company official with Nanya’s public relation division said on the phone.

“Demand came mostly from China and Japan,” said the official, who requested not to be named.

In addition, PC customers were restocking DRAM chips on the back of stable demand for desktop computers, Nanya said.

Growth was also driven by improved supply-and-demand conditions after major DRAM chipmakers cut production. Nanya reduced its production 20 percent last month from a month ago.

“The inventory level returned to healthy level,” the official said.

In October, Nanya said that it expected PC DRAM chips to account for less than half of the company’s revenue in the second half of this year, decreasing to around 10 percent in 2014.
